The middle school reunion ended in such an awkward atmosphere.
Without even a word of goodbye, Zhou Yahou drove away from the Zhulu Restaurant. He didn't even exchange pleasantries. Today, he was furious to the extreme!
He sped up to 120 miles per hour, racing down the road to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"
Zhou Yahou's eyes were bloodshot, his mind solely focused on getting revenge on Lu Ming.
"If I don't avenge this, I'm no human! Lu Ming, it's either you or me!"
He drove straight to his brother Zhou Chonghu's house.
Zhou Yahou knew that defeating Lu Ming with his own strength was impossible. Lu Ming was now a respected Divine Doctor of Huaxia, and with Zhou Yahou's status and position, he couldn't possibly shake Lu Ming.
Zhou Yahou lacked the ability.
Everything had to rely on his brother!
From childhood to adulthood, whenever Zhou Yahou encountered a problem he couldn't solve, he turned to his brother, Zhou Chonghu, for help. His brother was his solid backing.
Soon, he arrived at Zhou Chonghu's small villa.
Without needing to announce himself, he pushed the door open and walked in. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Chonghu sitting on the living room sofa, engaged in a lively conversation with a foreign woman.
Zhou Yahou took a closer look; he recognized the foreign woman.
It was none other than the leader of the Western Medicine Elite Organization – Catherine!
Huh?
Zhou Yahou blinked, not understanding how Zhou Chonghu, the vice president of the Medical Association, could be involved with Catherine.
Zhou Chonghu glanced at Zhou Yahou and said with a smile, "Er Hu Zi, come, meet Miss Catherine."
Zhou Yahou walked over and greeted them.
Seeing the troubled look on Zhou Yahou's face, Zhou Chonghu asked, "Why do you look unhappy? Did someone upset you?"
Zhou Yahou stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
"What are you doing? Acting like a sissy," Zhou Chonghu said impatiently. "What happened, spit it out!"
Immediately after.
Zhou Yahou recounted the events of the middle school reunion.
Especially when he mentioned Lu Ming, Zhou Yahou's teeth itched with hatred, giving the impression he wanted to devour Lu Ming alive.
After hearing his description.
Zhou Chonghu and Catherine exchanged a meaningful look.
"Heh heh, I hadn't gone looking for him yet, and he's already caused trouble for me," Zhou Chonghu said irritably.
Zhou Yahou quickly asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhou Chonghu said, "I won't hide it from you, brother. I was just discussing with Miss Catherine about punishing the Divine Doctor of Huaxia, Lu Ming. I didn't expect such a coincidence that you just happened to run into him."
Punish?
Zhou Yahou asked, utterly bewildered, "Brother, Lu Ming is the pride of Huaxia. Why should he be punished?"
Zhou Chonghu roared, "I am the face of Jinling Medical Association! When the president retires, I will be the future leader! Who does this Lu Ming think he is, stepping on my head, with even greater fame than mine! If such a person isn't properly punished, who will respect me in the future?"
So that's how it was.
Zhou Yahou smiled.
Now, Zhou Yahou didn't need to say anything more; Zhou Chonghu would deal with Lu Ming.
Jealousy distorted their faces.
The three people in the room were all dissatisfied with Lu Ming.
Catherine was jealous and resentful that Lu Ming had caused her to lose face publicly. Zhou Yahou was resentful that Lu Ming had made him lose face in front of his classmates. Zhou Chonghu resented that Lu Ming was more famous than him.
All three of them had reasons to want Lu Ming dead.
But reasons alone were not enough.
Zhou Yahou asked, "Then how exactly should we proceed? Lu Ming is the Divine Doctor of Huaxia, with a renowned reputation. If we forcibly oppose him, the public will only resent us, not Lu Ming."
Catherine had already thought of this.
She reached out and picked up a small box. Upon opening it, a small red pill was revealed inside.
Catherine said, "This pill is the latest research achievement from the United States. We've named it the 'Fake Death Pill.' After taking it, the body enters a specific state of suspended animation. The methods of traditional Chinese medicine, such as looking, listening, questioning, and palpating, are all ineffective! However, the person who takes the pill will be fine. They will only need to wait for 10 minutes before waking up."
Zhou Yahou was utterly confused. "What's the use of that?"
Zhou Chonghu laughed heartily. "What's the use? It's of great use! This pill can both ruin Lu Ming and restore Miss Catherine's reputation!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yahou became interested. "Brother, tell me more specifically."
"It's actually very simple," Zhou Chonghu explained. "Er Hu Zi, tomorrow I'll take you to see Lu Ming for a consultation. Then you'll take this pill and claim you were killed by Lu Ming's treatment! The Divine Doctor of Huaxia will instantly become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. Then, after ten minutes, Miss Catherine will treat you and bring you back to life. In this way, won't Miss Catherine's reputation overshadow Lu Ming's?"
Kill Lu Ming and promote Catherine.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Perfect!
Zhou Yahou looked at the small red pill in the box and chuckled, "Lu Ming, Lu Ming, I've finally found an opportunity for revenge!"
...
The next day, at Ren Zhi Pharmacy.
Qiao Ling was extremely busy in the pharmacy, and Lu Ming also came to help.
Because the title of Divine Doctor of Huaxia was too resounding, patients came in endless streams. The road in front of the entrance was filled with various parked vehicles.
Lu Ming calmly treated patients.
As he was examining someone, two men walked in – the brothers Zhou Chonghu and Zhou Yahou.
Zhou Yahou, abandoning his previous arrogant attitude, actively tried to ingratiate himself with Lu Ming.
He smiled and said, "Old classmate, hello!"
Lu Ming glanced at him. "Er Hu Zi, why are you here?"
Zhou Yahou said, "I'm feeling a bit unwell, and since your medical skills are so brilliant, I specifically came to have you take a look. As classmates, I also wanted to find an opportunity to say 'I'm sorry' to you and resolve the awkwardness between us."
Oh?
Lu Ming looked at Zhou Yahou with suspicion.
Although it was better to resolve feuds than to maintain them, given Zhou Yahou's temperament, would he easily let go of past grudges?
Lu Ming didn't quite believe it.
He decided to take it one step at a time.
Lu Ming asked Zhou Yahou to sit down, then began to take his pulse and treat him.
"You just have a slight case of internal heat, nothing serious."
Lu Ming prescribed medicine for Zhou Yahou. Zhou Yahou took it in front of everyone, and everything seemed normal. However, what happened next shocked everyone.
For some reason, after taking the medicine prescribed by Lu Ming, Zhou Yahou's eyes suddenly went black, and he fell straight to the ground.
Dead!
This...
From the patients to the doctor, and even the passersby around, everyone was stunned.
How could a simple medicine for internal heat kill someone?
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, staring at the motionless Zhou Yahou on the ground, his mind racing.
He knew that Zhou Yahou's arrival wouldn't be so simple.
And indeed, something had happened!
